The bulk of this book is simply Hattaway taking the first-person narratives and thoughts of three leaders in the house church movement in China and offering them to the reader. The book is concerned with the legacy of the 'Back to Jerusalem' movement, which is a Chinese Christian missionary movement dedicated to moving west through the '10/40 Window' (which is a section of mostly Asian between 10 degrees north and 40 degrees north in which reside the least-evangelized peoples in the world) show more until finally arriving at Jerusalem. The movement is based on a somewhat outdated geographical view of missions, so the goals of the 'Back to Jerusalem' movement would not in fact 'complete' the Great Commission (which is Jesus' command for his followers to disciple all the people-groups of the earth), but I nevertheless admire their passion and was fascinated by their stories (some of which include first-hand accounts of miraculous events, which I'm still mulling over), and I appreciated the insight into the Chinese house church movement. show less
